A Washington correspondent of the
St.Paul Pioneer Prcss writes: William
Coppinger, consul general of Liberia
and secretary of the colonization So
ciety. is here. Referring to the report
that there is discomfort in Liberia, he
said:
"Some of the immigrants succeed
and some fail, just as it is with those
who come to this country. 1t must be
remembered that the immigrants are
not often of the most energetic tenn
peramonts, and they come from race
whose attachments to localities arc
very strong. Another boat-load of
colored people will be sent over in the
autumn. being the third this year.
This will make the record q little
larger than usual, for, as rule. the
association only sends two parties in
season. The vessel which the So
ciety owns is small one, and Its trips
to Liberia and return occupy months.
Besides this the work of raising money
for the transportation of the negroes
is slow one. The association not
only sends them over, but makes
certain allowance supposed to cover
the cost of living until they can begin
to support themselves. Since it was
organized the Society has given homes
to about twenty thousand in the land
of their fathers, and we are sending
others as fast IS we can raise the
necessary funds. There is no lack of
good material, tell you. We could
send million to-day If wo had the
wherewithSl with which to do it The
largest number come from the south,
for the bulk of the colored population
is in the south, but / Am receiving
large numbers of appeals from the
colOred people of Kansas. many Of
whom went there during the exodus"
of some years ago. They did not inn
prove their condition as much as they
expected. At any rate, they are very
anxious to exchange Kansas for Africa.
We are sending more or less of them,
but can not respond to anything like
the number OF appeals yet.
what seems to be the reason for
the desire of the colored people in the
north for leaving the eountryp
''They feel that they are not part
of the dominant race, and that they
are not properly recognized socially
and politically by the whites and never
will be. The general public do not
understand how strong this feeling is
with the negroes. and 1t will probably
continue so. Many of them feel it
very keenly. We hear it in marked
degree from those who went to Kansas
few years ago"
MIR. Coppinger added that the ma
jority of the immigrants had houses of
their own, enjoy personal and polit-
ical equality, and by their intel
ligence contribute largely TO the
growth of civilization among African
tribes. Many savages have been alb
sorbed into the settlements. They
send their children to schools and have
adopted the methods of civilized life
and the use of the English language,
SO that now an English-speaking per-
son may make himself understood
almost anywhere on the west coast of
Africa.

Grant Countv Fair.

The coming event for this section Of
country is the Grant County Fair, at
Lancaster, next week, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. The grounds
have been put in perfect order. A new
grand stand has been built, twenty
four foot addition placed upon the Art
Hall, a new Agricultural Hall sixty feet
long has been built, we'll drilled at the
northwest corner near the cattle sheds,
and other improvements too numerous
to mention. One of the best things done
is the building of twenty-five new pig
pens, SO arranged that wagon can be
backed up to the shoot and the pigs can
walk down into a passage-way that runs
behind the pens, and driven into the one
assigned. An exhibitor need not handle
his pigs either in loading or unloading.
The stables. too. are being put in or
der, and by next week everything will
be in readiness to receive entries. The
best of the stock in this county will come
to the fair. The accommodations
are so good. the premiums SO liberal,
and the crowds that attend so large that
one has every inducement to make ex.
hibits here.
With anything like good weather. this
will be the biggest fair ever held on these
grounds.

White Africans.

The statement contained in Rider
Haggard's new novel, "Allan Quarter
main," concerning the existence Of
white races in the interior of Africa,
has received most remarkable con-
tirmation from the man who above all
others is qualified to speak on the sub
iect, says the New York World. Zebhr
Pasha the grand old slave-king of CEN
trail Africa, whom the German travel
er, DR.. Schweinfurth, describes IN
1871 as living in place ''where visi-
tors were conducted through halls of
state by richly-dressed and attentive
slaves, and where chained lions guard
ed the doors, and soldiers in mail ar
NOR waited on his will" Is now q cap
tive in the British fortress of Gibraltar,
whittier he was deportod from Egypt
some two years ago in consequence OF
his suspected completely in the Soudan
rebellion. Talking the other day to =
correspondent about the slave coun-
tries on the White Nile, which are en-
tirely savage, he remarked: ''At Sa-
kara and Benghieh. in the very heart
of the slave country, there are tribes
as white as Europeans, with long and
silky hair. The boards of the old men
sometimes reach down to their feet !"
Zebhr, describing others of the black
tribes, asserts that cannibalism still
prevails, and that many of them eat
mono but human flesh. "Men and
women are sold in the markets by the
pound. exactly as one sells mutton and
beef. The old and fat are preferred.
Sometimes they are sold dead and cut
up"

The Lincoln history in The Century,
by the private secretaries of Mr.. Lincoln,
Messrs. Nicolay and Hay, will deal dur
ing the coming year with the political
and military history of the early period
of the war. New light will be thrown
upon certain events of the period by
the publication of correspondence and
other documents never before printed,
and unknown to but small circle. The
failure of compromise will be described
and explained, as we'll as Lincoln's pol
icy, conduct and confidential correspon-
dence after his election and previous to
Inauguration. The historians now enter
upon more personal part of their
narrative.

Disease Germs in tho Air.


Recent experiments BY DR.. Percy F.
Fra sklaud, described before the Eng
lish Society Of Arts, show the follow
ing number Of microscopic organisms
found in given quantity of air in elf
ferent localities:
Top OF Primrose hill, 8; bottom Of
Primrose hill, "a: top of Norwich ca
thedral spire 600 feeD, &; at the bot
tom. Is; Golden gallery Of St. Psul's
cathedral. IL; in the churchyard be-
meath, 20; in Kens;ngton gardens, 10;
HYDE Park, 43; Exhibition road, 554;
in the chemical laboratory of Science
institution. 80, in the room of meeting
of the Royal society near the close OF
the session, 1872:
In third-class railway carriage con-
tanning four persons, soon after start
ing, the number of organisms that
were falling on one square foot per
minute was 800. Soon after this the
carriage was filled, containing ten
persons, after which it was found tbst
the number falling per square foot per
minute was 3,120.
At distance from land of ninesy sea
miles average of the experiments gave
one organism in twenty-six litres;
when the distance from land was 10
miles it was one in Rine-three litres.
Out of twelve experiments made at a
minimum distance of 120 sea miles in
eleven the air was absolutely germ
free, so that it would appear that the
maximum distance to which, under
ordinary circumstances, micro-organ-
ism can be transported across the sea
is about 100 miles.

The National Encamnment.

The National Encampment Of the
Grand Army of the Republic, to begin at

one Of the largest and most interesting
meetings ever held by the nations gal
liant defenders in the great war for the

and have pretty unanimously concluded
that 1.-THE Burlington" is the route for
all old soldiers from Minnesota and
Dakota, and Wisconsin, Iowa and
Northern Illinois. II has some advanta-
ges peculiar to itself, among which
are that it is the only line from Mime
apolis and st. Paul running, directly
over its own road into st. Louis; that
it runs for more than 500 miles along
the east bank of the Mississippi, afford
ing numerous views Of some of the
most delightful scenery in America; that
it is the only line running dining cars
AlOlu NlHuCdpOlio anu Dts uuA W ~
Louis, on which meals are served in the
finest style known; that it runs on all
night trains the most elegant and COM
Portable of Pullman's celebrated sleep
ing cars; that it has the smoothest and
straightest track of any railroad running
southerly; and that it has the reputation
of treating its patrons so well, and look
ing SO carefully after their comfort and
safety, that they always wish to "come
again" A rate of one fare for the
round trip will be made from all stations
on 1.-THE Burlington" For any informa-

The New Rules.

There is nothing difficult TO compre-
bend in the few slight changes in the
constitution of the Grant County Agri-
cultural Society. As stated in special
rule 2. The payment Of one dollar to
the treasurer of the society at or before
the Annual Fair, constitutes the person
paying an annual member, and entities
himself and wife, as exhibitors, to CON-
pete for any and all prizes or premiums
offered by the society, except those Of
fered in the trotting matches. 1t also
entitled him to vote in the meeting of
the society and permits him TO hold
office. But it does not admit him to the
grounds during the fair.
Those wishing to make entries, but
not wishing to become members of the
society, will pay fifty cents for an entry
ticket.
Exhibitors of stock will be allowed
one or more attendants, as the case may
require. Trotting competitors get an
entrance ticket with each horse.
Premiums will be awarded by votes
cast by the judges, and any exhibitor
who has talked with them will be denied
premium. Purchasers of licenses will
receive one entrance tickets for five dol
lars and two for ten, but none extra for
any sum greater than that.
Buses running to the grounds will
have to be licensed.
All matters not fully understood will
be explained by the oflicsrs. The gen.
eral superintendent has charge of the
grounds and all special cases must be
reported to him.
Those who come to see good fair
and wish to aid its success will find every
thing satisfactory.

CLEAN UP.-The question of sanitary
conditions is one, that of late years,
has received, in cities aud the larger
towns reasonable amount of attention
but in the smaller places, and we are
forced to count ourselves in that list,
there seems to be universal opinion
that the fact of being sin the country"
is insurance against all diseases arising
from incorrect hygienic conditions.
But the fact remains that not all the
spices of Araby could cover up the un-
wholesome odors that greet ones long
suffering nostrils On every street with
very little time for good clean breath
between. We have called attention to
this before and shall continue to do so
until the nuisance is abated. But so
long as there are behind each store piles
of decaying rubbish, so long as drains
drains are uncleansed and many places
are entirely undrained there will be
odors to create diptheria, fever and all
kindred ailments.

Miss LUsE's ENTERTAINMENT The
recital given by Miss Adelia r. Luse in
the Congregational church last Thurs
day evening was highly entertaining.
The evening was somewhat unpleasant,
and in consequence the audience was
not large. Miss Luse gave varied
program, though in the main her
selections were of mirth-provoking
nature. The missionary agents en-
counter with an ''enfant terrible" was
rendered with childish naivete and I'M
consciousness that was immensely
funny. In what might be called 'voice
selections Miss Luse excels, and her
rendering of the engineers whistled
love calls was perhaps the best thing
she did. The entertainment gave good
satisfaction. Mrs. w. G. Chandler
sang twice to give Miss Luse breath
ing spell.

WHAT You WANT.-If any one de-
sires to get for a very small amount of
money artistic studies that alone are
worth twice what they cost and beside
this also a magazine that is invaluable
as guide in home decoration, we can
suggest nothing better than an invest
ment of So in The Art Interchange.
This magazine has twenty-six issues
during the year and with these issues
thirteen colored plates. These plates
embrace various studies of flowers, fruit
and landscape and each study is beauti-
full. Tackled upon the wall just as they
come, if one does not care to go to the
expense of mounting and framing, they
impart an artistic air to room that
certainly can not be so readily obtained
in any other way. The Interchange is
replete with suggestions for treatment
of these studies, if one desires to copy
them. In response to questions by sub
scribers, it sends information in regard
to any painting you may desire to do
the proper mixing of colors, laying in
background, etc. the furnishing of
rooms, suggestions for fancy work; in
deed the odds and ends of all sorts of
home decorative knowledge can be
found in this magazine.
